Yup, switched to cast iron skillets last year!

My pancakes turn out the same color on a cast iron... I find heating to be tricky...

They might look a bit darker but sure do taste yummy!

The majority of tips I've received say to reduce the heat, maybe that is the problem? I personally haven't tested it, but I plan on it when I make pancakes again!

Yes! Cast iron takes longer to heat up and then it gets really hot. Reducing the heat helps :)
